  1. In a bizarro world that makes sense and sometimes I feel like we are living in a bizarro world.

  2. @EatONLYVegetables Please The Americans did the same thing elected Donald Trump who was also dismissive about the pandemic, but it was all a con to provide the maverick image to his base. And he secretly got the vaccine with Melania before he left office!? These authoritarians are consummate frauds and don't care for anyone, but themselves.

  5. It's relative and based on what people are used to. Record temperatures by several degrees is stuff to handle.

  6. If you look at the video you can easily see that none of the spiders were big at all, but fairly small. There were just a lot of them showing up all at once.

  8. You must feel lucky to have survived that devastating eruption in 536 CE. It must have been a tough time for years afterward.

  9. Dear confused, This Asian hornet just arrived here in the fall from Japan likely an accidental introduction vis a load of lumber or some other product the queen or a nest was residing in. This has nothing to do with the killer bees which was actually a hybridized bee that escaped in Brazil and gradually made it's way north.

  14. I feel compassion for this sweet woman for doing what she can so she can feed her children, but sad for as well because of the toxins in the paint mixture could get in her bloodstream and make her very sick. There are millions more people around the world living on the edge like this because if the pandemic desperate to do anything to feed their family.

  15. That is false statement because many many developing countries did well against this pandemic including many in Africa. On the other hand many developed countries have done poorly especially the US under former president Trump. Trump was just like Bolsonaro, selfish, only concerned about himself and power. Interesting how these two authoritarians had the worst response to the pandemic in the world and not by little either.

  17. Sure if you think that no opposition to the party tolerated is okay. And that a continuation of a suppression of the Chinese people and denying there is any problem of any kind in the country!

  18. Wait until August when the Cat 5 hurricanes start rolling through the east coast and the Gulf.

  19. China first denied any responsibility that the balloon was theirs. Then they claimed it was a weather balloon and had blown off course. If a balloon from the US ended up in China it would have been shot down and retained for investigation. This was an act of ineptitude on the part of China.

  20. @P D Only at first did she think it was romantic!! Then she saw it as disastrous a couple days later. Try telling the whole story next story next time instead of cherry picking for your dumb comment!!

  21.  @citavalo  Don't discredit a quote just because the person it is applied to is questionable. If bees went extinct humans would be in a world of hurt because of the vast number of plants that we are pollinated by honey bees. This pandemic isn't even as bad as losing our honey bees would be!!

  22. Your comment is a sign you have a stone for a heart. WAKE UP!!! Over 2 miilon have died in the world from this pandemic and it isn't done yet. Now add in the many hundreds of thousands who were seriously sick and struggling to recover. Now we are talking millions in the US alone!!

  23. acslater017. Ah, you do know that bats, mice and spiders are in every country in the world, don't you??

  24. There is a lot to fear if these hornets get a foothold in the country and start decimating honey bee hives. We need bees to pollinate plants we consume.

  25.  @lem2004  The Asian hornet evolved in Japan so it is in balance with nature and is not a threat to their bees. However like many invasive species appearing in a new world there are no evolved defences against it. And because evolutionary change is slow if this hornet gets a foothold it could devastate the bee population in the US. There are numerous other examples of invasive species crowding out the native species in the US. The Zebra mussels in the Great Lakes, kudzu in the southern waterways, fire ants in the south and west, the bull frog everywhere and many more.

  27. @Mintarcade. joanb. The problem these hornets has nothing to do with the exotic pet trade. These hornets likely got to the US in some product from Japan like a a lumber shipment with the female or a nest residing in the logs. Invasive usually arrives in the US by such vicarious avenues. Most invasive species do not survive, but many do and can decimate a natural habitat disrupting a local ecosystem to the point of causing havoc on a large scale. Google invasive species for proof.

  29. You are trying to absolve Bolsonaro of responsibility. No one is accusing him of those other things at all at least not seriously. Bolsonaro has to take responsibility for saying the virus was not as bad as has been claimed. By refusing to wear a mask because he was acting like a tough guy he called it a little flu. Except no flu since the pandemic in 1918 as killed as many as this virus has. But the coronavirus is worse in many ways to that flu 100 years ago. Educate yourself.

  30. Ah, hello?? These hornets arrived last fall and we are yet dealing with them now so they survived the winter. The question is how far have they proliferated.

  31. Bolsonaro is like Trump. Both are selfish self-serving leaders who only care about power and control. I have listened to Bolsonaro and he sounds a lot like Trump, arrogant, self-righteous and quick to make unscientific claims. These two were responsible for the worst responses to this pandemic in the world!! Shame on them!!

  32. Xi appears to embody the knack for empty platitudes to the CCP Congress with his typical robotic like expression which is always exactly the same. We can expect more aggressive actions from China in the near term as well as a continued denial of how serious the economy, environment problems have become. And if anything repression of the masses will be advanced! If the world wasn't chaotic and disturbing enough for you in 2022 just wait until 2023!! 🙄.

  33. Actually it was ONLY 100% yes! Xi Jinping and many of his sycophantic supporters wouldn't allow any descent.

  34.  @calvinblue894  China is wealthier now but at what cost?? This rapid rise in growth has also come with a poisonous pill. The rapid development of the country has led to a host of problems that the CCP consistently minimizes and misleads the public how severe it is. This list of problems includes serious pollution of water and even under ground water. The country has grown so fast that ground water is being rapidly depleted resulting in declining crop yields. The CCP has also lied about the severity of the drought. The zero covid policy seems intent on controlling the population and not on treating covid. People have even been locked into their apartment complexes and prevented from leaving. And yet CCP members are not held to the same standard. The housing industry is in serious decline because builders over promised and then ran of money leaving many Chinese without a home to move to. There are other serious problems in China mostly due to the CCP withholding the truth of how severe circumstances are in the country.

  36.  @acheung666  Every country has their ups and downs. Personally I would much rather be dealing with Britain's problems then China's for the simple reason that Britain's problems are political which will take a while to work out but they will. EDIT: I should add too that brexit has already destabilized the economy too which will become more apparent going forward so that in addition to the political one is a big problem. Nevertheless, I would still stand with GB before China. China on the other hand has multiple systemic problems, environmental, financial, domestic and worst of all is the authoritarian state that routinely ignores the needs of the people. The top down authoritarian management is so obsessively concerned with its own image that it conveys to the people and for that reason it routinely lies about the problems the country faces and is willing to sacrifice economic stability in order to show the people that they stay in their place. The Zero Covid policy is just one of examples of this. And a country so concerned with its image is filled with a bunch of sycophantic yes men and women. And thus it is weak and won't last with all the problems going on within!!

  37. Oh, but it does and it works very well. But people have to comply to the shut down orders or of course it won't work.

  38.  @maxrocha8547  When you cherry pick your evidence and cover only short periods of time you can make all sorts of claims that won't stand up to real scrutiny. And Florida was well known for distorting the numbers in that state. I can point to numerous examples where shut downs were very effective in controlling spread like right in my home state of New Mexico where a shut down immediately cut the rising case numbers late last year.

  39. @M Ak. What is more likely is that a nest or female was residing in a shipment like lumber from Japan. Once the shipment was unloaded it moved into the environment to nest and lay eggs. Most invasive species are introduced around the world in this way.

  44.  @alanclw6024  What's the matter did that hit a nerve? Are you offended? I thought your comment was just dumb troll like comment. Though another did call it sarcasm. So maybe I was wrong. Sometimes sarcasm does look just like comment from a troll. Just sayin.

  45.  @Xananymous  In what context can you possibly say that Truss and Biden have anything in common?

  46.  @greentea8852  Democracy has its flaws, but so does every other form of government. It is also not true that their approval rate always goes down after being elected. Actually approval rate fluctuates throughout a president's term because people are fickle and many are easily swayed by rhetoric of supporters and the opposition without checking out the facts for themselves.

  47.  @awesomedude945  Then you must be new to YouTube comments because I have heard that countless times.
